Across the Army, prevention specialists work alongside Sexual Assault Response Coordinators and Victim Advocates to build a comprehensive approach to the prevention of sexual harassment and sexual assault that strengthens both immediate response and long-term cultural change. While SARCs and VAs provide confidential support to survivors, prevention professionals analyze trends, identify factors that hinder progress and assess what efforts have been made to counter those challenges.  

The Department of the Army is taking a proactive stance on preventing harmful behaviors and promoting healthy ones with the launch of the innovative Army Community Prevention Leadership Academy. 

You’re a good employee, but lately problems at home have been getting in the way of your concentration at work. That happens. In fact, the Army long ago established a program for exactly this type of situation: the Employee Assistance Program. EAP provides confidential help to Army Civilians who are facing personal problems, whether it’s relationship issues, substance misuse, emotional distress, financial problems or even legal difficulties. 

We can all recall a time when we wish someone had stood up for us—at work, with friends or maybe in our relationships. For some of us, perhaps that time was when we were kids and we couldn’t stand up for ourselves.
